What breed is Bo? I think you said but I forget.

I especially like the #1 rule.
To all you old law dogs now just lyin' in the shade, current pistoleros and other fervent Second Amendment believers: I would rather be your friend, but if you are not interested in that, I am prepared to be a capable and efficient enemy.
This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental. As John Steinbeck once said :
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
4. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the Mall.
5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. (but shoot first anyway, then call 911)
6. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?'. The Ranger responded with, 'Because they don't make a 46.'
7. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.
8. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'NO Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.' (Winchester Model 94 30-30 Cal. and loaded with Winchester Silver Tips, no doubt).
9. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!
AMEN!
To this I will add my comments. I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. To which I said I did. She said 'well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!' To which I said, 'of course it is loaded.' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of some one evil coming into your house?' My reply was,'No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching afire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL LOADED.'
Thank you LUV. I will share this when the newlyweds finally arise.
ROFL!
If you understand these rules, you must be a TEXAN!!!:D
Thank you LUV. I will share this when the newlyweds finally arise.
I hope all of you are having a lovely visit!
((((hugs)))) for all!
Hmmm. Not sure why that posted twice.
L0L! Yes Ma’am
Yes indeed. We have them home for the next month.
Hic!-too much of that bubbly?
LOL! :D
That’s wonderful! My kids will be in this coming weekend...
with our little granddaughter, Piper, but they’ll only be
here for 6 days. We will get to enjoy Piper’s first Christmas
with them though, and that is a big deal around here!
One year, twenty ago or so, my wife and I spotted a goofy statue in a thrift shop. It is a lion, up on rear paws, holding a lamb. It is wearing vaguely “Santa-ish” red robes. Because of the Narnia-like figure, with the Alpha-Omega connotations, we fell in love with it immediately.
Every year since, we trade off, giving the statue to each other. The invented backstory is that Leon, the Useless Gift, is under the tree to remind us that if we can afford to own such a useless thing, we must be doing really well financially, and should remember to be grateful to God over what we have.
As another tradition, we wrap up a picture of each of our two girls, and address them “To: Mom and Dad, From: Jesus”. We have the girls open them every year for us, in a way to remind all of us that they are gifts from God.
Perhaps the Eggnog flavored Brandy (with Rum and Blended Whiskey) had a delayed effect :0)
Understood. Our daughter will be giving birth sometime this month (her due date is Dec 29). Unfortunately she lives too far away and we will not be able to be there for the joyous occasion. Thankfully there’s the internet.
Black labrador.
Whew! That MIGHT have been the culprit all right! LOL!
The internet is a wonderful tool!
Congratulations on the impending birth! A Christmas baby! :D
Lovely traditions 50sDad! I love Christmas stories.
